Originally from Drumcondra, Graves has lived in Swords since the early 1990s. She has three children and one grandchild. Before entering politics, she worked as a shop steward for the SIPTU trade union in the education sector.[3]

Graves began her political involvement in Fingal by supporting the campaign of Louise O'Reilly, a Sinn Féin TD for the former five-seat Fingal constituency. Graves was co-opted onto Fingal County Council in 2018 and subsequently elected at the 2019 local elections.[3] She was an unsuccessful candidate at the 2019 Dublin Fingal by-election.[4] She lost her council seat at the 2024 Irish local elections, but was co-opted again in September 2024.
